"The Wind Cries Mary" by Jimi Hendrix

Dedicated to Mary Winkler:

AFTER ALL JACKS ARE IN THEIR BOXES
AND THE CLOWNS HAVE ALL GONE TO BED
YOU CAN HEAR HAPPINESS STAGGERING ON DOWN THE STREET
FOOTPRINTS DRESSED IN RED

AND THE WIND WHISPERS MARY

A BROOM IS DREARILY SWEEPING
UP THE BROKEN PIECES OF YESTERDAY'S LIFE
SOMEWHERE A QUEEN IS WEEPING
SOMEWHERE A KING HAS NO WIFE

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

THE TRAFIC LIGHTS THEY TURN A BLUE TOMORROW
AND SHINE THER EMPTINESS DOWN ON MY BED
THE TINY ISLAND SAGS DOWNSTREAM
CAUSE THE LIFE THAT LIVED IS DEAD
AND THE WIND SCREAMS MARY

WILL THE WIND EVER REMEMBER
THE NAMES IT HAS BLOWN IN THE PAST?
AND WITH ITS CRUTCH, ITS OLD AGE, AND ITS WISDOM
IT WHISPERS "NO, THIS WILL BE THE LAST"

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

Don't Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston

Don't leave me this way
I can't survive
I can't stay alive
Without you love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way, no
I can't exist
I'll surely miss
Your tender kiss
Don't leave me this way

Baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you've gotta do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burnin', outta control
Come and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good lovin' can set me free

Don't, don't ya leave me this way, no
Don't ya understand
I'm at your command
Oh baby, please
Please, don''t leave me this way
No, baby
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without your love
Baby, don't leave me this way

Baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've gotta do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burnin', outta control
So Come and satisfy the need in me
Only your good lovin' can set me free
Need your lovin' baby
Need
Need

Satisfy the need in me
Satisfy the need in me...

Hay, Hay Baby
Come satisfy the need in me
Oh, oh, baby
Come satisfy the need in me
Oh, baby
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way

"Wishing You Were Here" by Chicago

Of course, the dreamy sounding music makes these lyrics even better:

Sleepless hours and dreamless nights and far aways
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Heaven knows and lord it shows when I’m away
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here

Same old show in a different town on another time
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Even though you’re far away, you’re on my mind
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here

And I’d like to change my life, and you know I would
Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could
But I’ve got my job to do, and I do it well,
So I guess that’s how it is

Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here

On the road it’s a heavy load, but I’ll get by
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Pay the price, make a sacrifice, and still I’ll try
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
